Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Indian tribes.
Number of Respondents: There are 66
schools with residential programs, of
which 28 are Bureau-operated and 38
are tribally operated. Thus, the
collection of information must be
cleared for 38 of the 66 residential
schools.
Total Number of Responses: 730 per
year, on average.
Frequency of Response: Annual or on

Public Law 107–110, the No Child

Bureau-funded boarding/residential
schools to ensure that all children have
a fair, equal, and significant opportunity
to obtain a high-quality education and
reach, at a minimum, proficiency on
challenging academic achievement
standards and assessments. The NCLB
Act, and implementing regulations at 25
CFR part 36, requires the Bureau to
implement national standards for homeliving situations in all Bureau-funded
residential schools. The Bureau must
collect information from all Bureaufunded residential schools in order to
assess each school’s progress in meeting
the national standards. The Bureau is
seeking renewal of the approval for this
information collection to ensure that
minimum academic standards for the
education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Triballycontrolled contact and grant schools are

History and Description of the Remains
From April 27, 1938, to November 10,
1939, human remains representing, at
minimum, 90 individuals were removed
from the Cox site (1JA176), in Jackson
County, AL. The Cox site was excavated
as part of TVA’s Guntersville reservoir
project by the Alabama Museum of
Natural History (AMNH) at the
University of Alabama, using labor and
funds provided by the Works Progress
Administration. Excavation of the land
commenced after TVA had acquired this
land on July 19, 1937 for the
Guntersville project. The excavation site
was composed of a conical mound
believed to have originally been a
truncated pyramid, with multiple
stratigraphic zones and also a village
site containing most of the burial units.
This site was occupied during the
Woodland period (300 B.C.–A.D.1000)
and the Crow Creek phase of the
Mississippian culture (ca. A.D. 1400–
1600). Details regarding this site may be
found in An Archaeological Survey of
Guntersville Basin on the Tennessee
River in Northern Alabama by William
S. Webb and Charles G. Wilder. The
human remains and associated funerary
objects excavated from the Cox site have
always been in the physical custody of
the AMNH at the University of
Alabama. The human remains include
